About the aws_lambda_permissions Resource	aws

aws_lambda_permissions

Use the aws_lambda_permissions InSpec audit resource to test properties of multiple AWS Lambda permissions.

The AWS::Lambda::Permission resource grants an AWS service or another account permission to use a function. You can apply the policy at the function level, or specify a qualifier to restrict access to a single version or alias. If you use a qualifier, the invoker must use the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of that version or alias to invoke the function.

Syntax

Ensure that permission has the desired statement id.

describe aws_lambda_permission(function_name: 'LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME') do
  its('sids') { should include 'STATEMENT_ID' }
end

Parameters

function_name (required)

For additional information, see the AWS documentation on AWS Lambda permission.
